cgeldmacher Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The reports were that he is a fantastic student with good grades. He probably earned himself a legitimate academic scholarship and the rest will be covered by NBA money. Give it a year or so, and I bet he's on scholarship. I look at LHJ as somewhat of a Jimerson type in that if he can develop his shot and get himself open on the three point line, he could work himself into being a big time contributor in about year three. Congratulations, Larry Jr., and Larry Sr. Welcome to and back to SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe that’s a factual statement Missouri, and St. Louis specifically, has always had a good pool of talent. It’s awesome that we have been able to keep this talent “in-house”.

Congratulations, Larry Jr., and Larry Sr. Welcome to and back to SLU. this is dangerous territory that supposedly the ncaa watches very close. whatever scholarship he is awarded, no matter how large, will likely be scrutinized to make sure it is nothing more than a non student athlete would have gotten with the same credentials. if the ncaa thinks he is getting more than what a normal scholarshipped student with greater credentials got, that is a no no.

LH Sr earned 84MM in the NBA, according to the internet. Cut that in half for taxes and agents, that's still 42 MM. I hope there's enough left over that he can pay full freight.

I assume he had a good accountant/lawyer who figured out how to minimize the taxes. One way to defer money and teams will do this for a player if they see a way for them to get some benefit - look at Bobby Bonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would not award any scholarship unless it was legit and well documented. If the NCAA has a problem with a smart kid earning an academic scholarship, then bring on the inquiry.

Are there really people worried about if he can afford school without a scholarship? I'm sure Hughes will earn it, and if Ford doesn't need the other scholly fine. But otherwise why use that spot when you don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
